I left home when i was only seventeen   Met a guy, he and i   Drove down to new orleans   He seemed to know his way around   And i thought i could last   The sweet-talkin', oh,   C-c-c-candyman      Warmed his bed   Kept him fed   And oh i loved him so   Thought i had to cry alot   Whenever he would go   I guess i was just too young   To really understand   A sweet-talkin' ooooooh,   C-c-c-candyman!!!      Sweet talking candyman   My sweet talking   Sweet talking candyman   I hear you talking!      He played around   And brought me down   And finally threw me out   I got burned   But I learned   What life was all about   And i often think of him   Every now and then   A sweet-talkin', ooooooh,   C-c-c-candyman      Sweet talking candyman   My sweet talking   Sweet talking candyman   I hear you talking ...
